Once upon a time, JAY-Z recruited the LOX for his song “Reservoir Dogs” featuring Beanie Sigel and Sauce Money, which appeared on 1998’s Vol. 2…Hard Knock Life. But behind-the-scenes, things were a little intense as the recording process got underway.
During a recent interview with Genius’ For The Record, Jadakiss revealed Styles P actually dissed Hov on the song and explained why.
It turns out, the LOX had some luggage to drop off at their respective homes before they could head to the studio, but Jay wanted them to surface immediately.
“So we’re like, ‘That’s cool. We’re gonna go home, put our luggage [away],” Jada told Rob Markman. “And they were like, ‘Nah, [Jay] wants you to come there right now. We ain’t got carry-ons. We got big shit we had to check. So that put us on edge a little, ’cause we always lookin’ at it like, ‘If [Jay] just landed, would he just come to the studio with his luggage? No!’ But that was a good edge.”
As a result, Styles P apparently obliterated Hov as part of his verse, even though he had a day to cool off.
“I don’t give a fuck who you are, so fuck who you are/I don’t care about a pretty bitch, watch or a car/I don’t care about your block and whoever you shot/I don’t care about your album and whenever it drop/I don’t care about your past if I did I woulda asked,” he rapped.
“He was going at Hov on there,” Jada confirmed. “Hov was like, ‘Well, it sounded like you talking about me on it.'”
Elsewhere in the interview, Jada explained why he pushed back his fifth studio album Ignatius out of respect for the late Pop Smoke. The 20-year-old rapper was murdered at a home in the Hollywood Hills earlier this month.

First! Do people still do that?
Only in 2008
That’s some sucka ish…He’s helping you by putting you on his album, and if I’m not mistaken around that time Jay Z had the bigger buzz…and then you turn around and bite the hand that’s helping you possibly eat…No wonder the Lox aren’t bigger than what they are. On a street level and hardcore fan base, no question…On a more global level, IMO they would be considered failures.
And later on in 2016, King HOV signs the LOX to the ROC, just like how he signed broke ass Nas to Def Jam ten years earlier and became his boss. King HOV owns the rap game. It’s the ROC in here.
Don’t forget the balls.. you know.. when your done sucking that mans dick and all
When Nas stans get mad at the truth, they resort to homoerotic insults, like how their hero did on Ether. Have a mauve-lous day, bitch. It’s the ROC!
When Jay stans get mad at the truth they resort to lies, like how their hero did on Takeover.
That shit was pink! Don’t make excuses for gay shit!
He got to the top by stepping on everyone, including his mother and wife.
Ask Russell Simmons
Speaking of Styles… need a Lloyd Banks & Styles P album, prod by tha Jerm. Hard af
This is the greatest comment I’ve ever read on this site.. ghost & banks album prod by tha jerm would be out of this world, if u know about the jerm beats u know wats up ??
Lame way of self-promotion.
Only those ones did not murder Jay-Z on his own tracks who he did not collaboare with. Okay, Bleek is the exception that proves the rule.
Lets start a rap beef over some luggage. I like styles but he need to chill. Maybe Jay had somewhere to be and couldn’t wait. Maybe he can’t wait till homies check in to the hotel, smoke a blunt, stop at the chicken stop on route and then get to the studio 2hours later. I’m sure The Lox rolls with hella niggas in there entourage. Just keep the luggage with you and tell 2 homies to stay in the car, get to the studio, drop ya verses and dip out.
Chicken spot? Yep know who u r
Moral of the story : despite all his bitching and hissy fits, when Hov told Styles to be somewhere his bitchass was there “front and center”
Lmfao ?
Lmao.100% correct.
That shit was the hottest song on the album.
Well, it sounded like Jada went at 50 on Irregular Heartbeat. “
